What I Made Monday: Thanksgiving

There's a good chance I have more Thanksgiving decorations than any other holiday--color me surprised. Fortunately, I still needed a door hanger for November, and this cute guy fit the bill perfectly.

Turkey door hanger. I still need to rig up something to hang him by.

And, back before I found out my cornucopia o' Thanksgiving decorations runneth o'er, I bought this cute block. I picked it because, unlike, most decorations for this holiday, it didn't say "give thanks." Not that there's anything wrong with that phrase, it's just...ubiquitous. I have no fewer than 3 items in my living room with that saying.

Cole and Jessica

What He's About

I am the Director of Operations at the Doubletree Park City/The Yarrow. I love being back at a hotel! In what little free time I have, I enjoy making my three boys laugh, snuggling my princess, gaming on the weekends with my brothers, and driving my wife completely crazy. I love to make homemade pizza with Jessica and cruise around town in my mini van. Life is good!

What She's About

I'm the director at the Christensen House of Crazies. ;) I love reading, blogging, scrapbooking, singing, dancing, tickling my boys, and baking. I love movies, and my conversations are peppered with movie quotes. I crave Diet Coke (especially of the dirty variety), projects from The Wood Connection, and kisses from my four boys. I'm looking forward to all of the girl time I'll get with my little princess as she grows up!

Kyle Steven

What He's About

I'm 7 years old and the biggest brother. I like to play (and fight) with my brothers and tickle my sister. One of my favorite things to do is make up jokes--I have a bright future with Laffy Taffy. I'm really looking forward to my 8th birthday, because then I get to be baptized. I love reading and math and riding my bike outside. I am a big helper and try my best to be a good example to my siblings.

Lucas Robert

What He's About

I'm 4 years old and the middle brother. I love riding the bus all by myself to preschool--Mommy says I'm super brave! I have a love-hate relationship with both of my brothers--sometimes we're the best of friends and sometimes we fight all.the.time. I have a tender heart and I love to snuggle, but I love to wrestle and be wild and crazy with my brothers and my dad. I'm Mommy's ray of sunshine.

Matthew Tanner

What He's About

I'm 3 years old and the littlest brother. Mommy and Daddy are glad that I FINALLY grew out of my terrorist phase. I love to watch Paw Patrol and Blaze and the Monster Machines (sometimes Mommy lets me watch them all by myself when my brothers are at school!). I will copy pretty much whatever my brothers do. I'm a champ at going potty and I still have the sweetest face in the world.

Hallie Jo

What She's About

I am 1 1/2 and the little princess. I love to play dress-up and put on jewelry, but I make killer car noises too--I have balanced interests. :) I love to torment the cat and follow Mommy around everywhere. I am already super sassy and it makes Mommy laugh to hear me say "No" (at least, for right now). I love to snuggle Daddy and take care of my babies.
